After a 7-year-old child was killed in a hit-and-run, a 14-year-old boy was detained.
On Thursday, a motorbike struck the young girl in Bloxwich, Walsall’s Turnstone Road.
The black and blue road bike-style motorbike is still missing, according to West Midlands Police.
“This is an absolutely tragic incident that has resulted in the death of an innocent child,” Det Sgt. Paul Hughes said.
“We still need to find the involved motorbike, and I’m sure someone in the neighbourhood knows where it is.”
“I need that community to band together and work with me now,” she said.
“Doing the right thing” is more important than “protecting people.”
Therefore, I would implore anyone with any information—no matter how tiny or significant—to get in touch with us.
My sympathies are with the family of this young girl since this is a heartbreaking circumstance that no family should ever experience.
